Published 10:30 pm Wednesday, April 11, 2018

An all-stater and Miss Basketball finalist, Harlan County’s Blair Green earned another honor this week as player of the year on the All-Southeastern Kentucky Conference team. Green averaged 26 points and 6.5 rebounds a game this season for the 28-2 Lady Bears.

Green, who will play at the University of Kentucky next season, led Harlan County to its first 13th Region Tournament title and trip to the Sweet Sixteen. She was a six-year varsity starter who was a first-team all-state selection as a junior and senior and was conference player of the year twice.

The all-conference squad featured five other Lady Bears and five players from Harlan. Williamsburg’s Randy Crider and Knox Central’s Jamie Sowders shared the honor as coach of the year. Pineville’s Jill Enix was played of the year among A/2A schools. The all-conference team includes:
